1) The guy was a fraud. And his dog was his moneymaker. Not nice. He’s a criminal!

2) The guy was homeless. So the dog has no real shelter, questionable food, nobody who can afford a vet bill. So the guy is irresponsible and selfish, and won’t try to find a good home for the dog.

3) The guy was homeless, and, like most chronic homeless, was mentally ill or abusing. So the dog is in danger, and might be abused, or traded to a random person for drugs or booze. Screwed-up guy, should be taken off the streets. Poor dog, deserves a loving home.

Do you have another scenario which is better? My area no-kill has a waiting list that is about three months long. So that guy could give his dog a good home in three months. I hope that’s what happened. Another winter is always coming, and a dog deserves warm and dry home.

Also, choosing dog over house? I hope you never make that choice.

My guess is the homeless guy used whatever money he got to care for his FRIEND, and that he didn’t make use of a homeless shelter because they wouldn’t accept his FRIEND. Your attitude that he should just abandon the dog to a no kill shelter makes me sick. No-kill shelters are already full to the gills and you are condemning someone because they loved their dog enough to share good times and bad with them instead of kicking them to the curb. You are certainly judgemental, I hope you never find yourself needing help.
